Teen Programs

The Vancouver Art Gallery’s Teen Programs offer young people opportunities to engage deeply with art through exhibition visits, behind-the-scenes experiences and hands-on studio learning.

Designed in collaboration with leading arts institutions, these year-long programs support teens in developing visual literacy, creative confidence and their own artistic voice.

Through close looking, guided discussion and mentored art-making, participants build skills, explore new ideas and form meaningful connections within Vancouver’s creative community.
